• Description:
  In celebration of National Engineers Week 2017, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) visited Winton Woods High School's Project Lead the Way (PLTW) engineering class in Cincinnati, Ohio. PLTW is the leading provider of rigorous and innovative Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education curricular programs used in middle and high schools across the United States. Over 200 high schools in the United States have adopted this STEM program to introduce high school students to engineering in order to increase the number and quality of engineers and biomedical science students graduating from colleges and universities in the country. PLTW's high school curriculum for engineering and biomedical sciences is a comprehensive four-year program. Each high school's PLTW program is overseen by a professional advisory board. LCDR Hirst has served on the Winton Woods PLTW advisory board since 2010.
